Hermann Seib VSTHost and SAVIHost

 

New Update:  Hermann Seib updates VSTHost to v1.57 and SAVIHost to v1.43

 

VSTHost Standalone VSTi Host by Hermann Seib vsthostx86.zip, savihostx86.zip

Changes in VSTHost:

  • 32-bit version created with Visual Studio 2008 instead of Visual Studio 6 for added UI capabilities; for Windows 98, there's a separate version available now that's still done with VS6.

  • Loading of similar performances is much faster.

  • PlugIn scans remember bad PlugIns and don't retry them.

  • MIDI Clock can be sent to configurable MIDI devices.

  • PlugIn menu bar break can be configured.

  • PlugIns can be "labeled" by double-clicking on the PlugIn frame's lower text line.

  • Pressing Ctrl while loading a PlugIn toggles the /runBridged command line option.

  • Pressing Ctrl+Shift while loading a PlugIn toggles the /forceBridged command line option.

      

  • Corrected Auto-Stereo option for Mono PlugIns.

  • Expanded .vstxml file capabilities.

  • Manual can be opened from menu if downloaded into VSTHost directory.

  • MIDI->Parameter conversions enhanced.

  • MIDI File Player can load .kar files now (small improvement).

  • Added built-in PlugIns for common MIDI configuration tasks.

  • /maxchn=xx command line parameter and MaxChannels=xx .ini file setting added for the (rare) setups where more than 32 ASIO I/O channels are needed.

Changes in SAVIHost:

  • MIDI Transformations from VSTHost have been added.

Changes in both programs:

  • Lots of bug fixes and internal changes.

  • VST3-capable programs use VST SDK 3.5 instead of 3.1.

  

VSTHost

It's a little program created to host VST Plug-ins capable of:

  • Load VST effects

  • Parameterize / edit them

  • Sound output for VSTi (VST instruments)

  • MIDI-input and -output

  • Load / save .fxb / .fxp files

  • I/O through either Windows MME or ASIO drivers

  • Wave Player / Recorder

  • MIDI Player

While the program started mainly as an aid in understanding and debugging VST plugins, it has evolved into a quite capable program by now which can be really helpful in a keyboard artist's Live setup.

Free Download VSTHost v1.57:

  

Current version: 1.57 - the usual tons of enhancements, bug fixes and internal changes.

The following files are available for the current version:

  vsthostx86.zip the current VSTHost version for x86 (i.e., 32-bit code)
Runs on 32- and 64-bit-Windows versions from Windows 2000 up.
  vsthostw98.zip the current VSTHost version for Windows 98/ME/NT4.
Also runs on all later Windows versions, with slightly restricted capabilities.

  


  

SAVIHost

SAVIHost is a derivative version of VSTHost that can be used to make any VSTi run like a standalone application.

This offers two major advantages:

  1. VSTi can be used (tested, checked or tried) easily and directly without the need or search for another host.

  2. VSTi can be distributed to be tested in a temporary directory without the need of the presence of another host or to search for a dedicated VSTPlugIns-subdirectory. The VSTi-dll can still be used within other hosts like Cubase, Sonar etc. when copied to that host's VSTPlugins-subdirectory.

For use just rename SAVIHost.exe to the corresponding VSTi.dll e.g. if there is abc123.dll rename SAVIHost.exe to abc123.exe and this will run the VSTi.

Free Download SAVIHost 1.43:

  

Current version: 1.43 - VST 2.4rev2 / Module Architecture / 3.5 + ASIO 2.2 support, separate .WAV Player/Recorder.
